Goodbye 1167627600 –1199167140 1199163540.
[Justin] is having fun telling everyone that an exploit has been found for the Archos 605 media player. The hack gets you remote root access on the player… need I say more?
[Gene] sent in his polar coordinate based LEGO 3d printer. He’s still working on the driver end, but it’s an interesting project.
[Kyle] sent in the gutting of his flip video camera.
Need some new storage? [forrest] sent in his price/GB price comparison script. It scrapes New Egg and graphs out the results.
Despite the link on our old post being dead, [Txoof] built his own CCFL macro light from a dead laptop LCD.
[Dan] sent in his LED cube matrix. The LEDs are wired in a matrix, so he can actually address them individually.
happy new year. May 2008 be a good hacking year.
Cheers to hacking!
Very happy new year to everyone here, may the next year be full of success with your projects and hacks.
…ohh yeah tons of hacks!!
The price comparison script is just plain cool. I wish I’d thought of that instead of spending hours looking for the cheapest £/gb for a large RAID array.
Just need to mod it to work in £’s, search multiple sites, and add postage cost in and it’d be perfect.
whats with
1167627600 -1199167140
Whoa, someone should build a 3d printer that builds things out of legos!
@5 those are unix time stamps.
1167627600 = 00.00 01/01/07
1199167140 = 00.59 01/01/08
I think he made a mistake or I copied them wrong.
It should be 1199163540.
They are seconds from epoch (1= 7.00 31/12/69 )
You’re right. I fudged the calculator and put in 24:59 instead of 23:59.
Happy holidays!
The LED matrix animation looks like one of the little fire worms from Zelda, but stuck inside a box… :(
forre.st is down, wonder if it’s permanent. It was good enough to convince my boss to buy a few of those WD500’s
